BIsMARCK's BITTEREsT PILL.
Prince Bismarck's most CALLING re-
buff Is in Alsace and Lorraine.
IL Is known that he looked forward
TO the results there with the keenest an
ticipation to see whether the people had
come more Ieconeiled to German rule.
Taken In connection with Prince Hohen-
lohe's manifesto, aud the reported dis
covery OF an extensive revolution con-
nected with the Deroulede League, the de-
feat OF the government In Alsace and Lor.
raine is considered an i'll augury of peace,
and as likely to lead TO the adoption OF se-
we're measures In those provinces.
THE EFFECT IN FRANCE.
PARIS, Feo. 22.-Le Paris says:
The separated provinces of Alsace
and Lorraine are faithful to
their old love. We do not merely con-
gratulate, we bow before them in token
OF respect for their civic courage. We
belieye their patriotism will
tend 10 peace, because we can
not conceive OF Prince Bismarck
advancing his armies with two hostile
provinces in the rear. La Revanche, on
hearing the news, hoisted French and
Russian flags over its Office, but the gov
ernment stopped the demonstration.
